Back at it again

Feeling much better today, even though I got way too much sleep last night. I figured I’d wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning, but I didn’t. So I had a slamming headache when I did wake. Got through the day though. Then it was back to working on my website. There are … Continue reading Back at it again

Writing early and short

I haven’t felt well today. Probably a sign that I’ve been overdoing it lately. I’m achy, tired, and my throat is scratchy. So, I’m resting today. See you tomorrow. Cheers.

When the Universe wants me to listen

It’s a reality. It would freak some people out, and sometimes it makes the back of my arms and legs tingle too, but I like it when the Universe makes me take notice and listen. I often say that I need a neon sign in order to pay attention. And the Universe knows this. Tonight, … Continue reading When the Universe wants me to listen

Spaceship, take 2

I was writing earlier tonight when I looked up at the spaceship painting. I knew I was shortly going to be heading over to paint and wondering if I really wanted to work on the painting, maybe even take the spaceship out and try something else. That’s when something happened. I saw a skull in … Continue reading Spaceship, take 2

E for Effort

I painted a spaceship today. Let’s just say that it’s bad. Very bad. All I see in it is this large flying E. OMG! Yes, that’s probably my first, last, and only spaceship that I will ever paint. On the other hand, I gave it a shot. I’d always wanted to give it a try, … Continue reading E for Effort

Show in the rain

I am very lucky. I have done many shows outdoors and very free have been in the rain. Today was a rain day. Fortunately, not much got wet. Nothing that won’t dry. There’s a lot of mud to deal with, but that will clean. Picture above is off the most adorable cosplay I think I’ve … Continue reading Show in the rain

Rest

I’ve stopped. There was a moment I got to stop and breathe today. I was no longer rushing around. Then I nearly fell asleep. A short post so I can actually get some sleep and be ready for the show tomorrow. It just felt good to finally have a moment (just a moment) to rest. … Continue reading Rest

Boise Comic Arts Festival

Coming up this weekend at Julia Davis Park in Boise. While there are activities going on tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday, the vendor artists (like me) will be set up on Saturday only. Bundle up and bring your umbrella, but don’t let the colder weather and rain keep you away. Check out the link above to … Continue reading Boise Comic Arts Festival

There’s no secret handshake

People who want to write, or are in the middle of writing their book, often ask me for advice. Sometimes, I have young writers ask too. So, what can a writer do to finish their book? What helps a writer the most? What is the secret to getting so much done? Write. Have fun and … Continue reading There’s no secret handshake

Worst enemies and progress

I painted for much longer than I should have last night, but I got another nebula piece done. Then I did some writing and stayed up far too late. Tonight I’ve been distracting myself with a decision that I need to make regarding programs and I’m wishing it were easy. I shouldn’t feel like it’s … Continue reading Worst enemies and progress
